Every morning I get up and check that my 8-1 drubbing of the Drebabies is still holding up. I don't trust those guys not to pick up someone from the legends game.

The race for second place is on.

Unfortunately it will hold up through the end of the allstar break

After putting together back to back wins to move to within a couple games of the sixth spot, this week will definitely set me back....Tyrese Evans and Micheal Beasley sat out the short week healing which probably cost me the total pts category and the three pt category, which would at least made it a respectable 3-6 loss. Also Kobe didn't help matters with 12 turnovers in 2 games......

@Mo & Webz. You guys are amazing with the way you anticipate moves and great players off the wires so quickly. I wish I had that kind of insight and I admire your abilities, even though Kimmee and I feel like all the time!

@Webz. Thanks for the excellent insight and analysis regarding my team a few weeks ago. Not many rival G.M.'s would do that. Believe me, I keep it in mind always, but I didn't do a very good job of implementing the information.

@DBA. You arguably have the 2nd best team in the league looking at your roster and results. You will likely pummel me this week (I'm undermanned due to injuries, trades, and having some gambles backfire horribly...plus you've got a great team that maybe kicks my butt regardless). However, 2nd place for you is pretty much impossible. We are in separate divisions and assuming Motown takes 1st overall (which he most definitely shall), then the winner of my (weaker) division automatically gets 2nd place (not that it is worth anything). So pretty much, only Ralphi, Kimmee, or Dre has a realistic shot at 2nd...and that is only if they play really well and my team continues its collapse of the last couple weeks.

@ Bill Laimbeer. Well, I just want to point out that your team sucks and you are the worst owner I've ever seen. But please Have A Nice Day.

@Somebody else...yeah...the best laid plans of mice and men...<----- you.

@ Kimmee. You've made the season great. You know I'm rooting for you big time every day!!

Maybe DT, maybe. The new Sprockets need to stand up and do something useful, Prince needs not to shoot 0-9, and Ray Felton needs to find a team who will put him on the floor. If he backs up Lawson for any length of time...

I have to suffer and hold on to an injured Tyreke Evans who will be out another three weeks. If I let him go, then one of the top two teams, Motown Pride or Webz will pick him up and let him ride their pine instead he heals. I already let Jennings go and Webz pick him up and let him sit on his bench until he was ready to play.

it ain't easy being a fantasy team owner these days... got rid of Lawson, kept an eye on him and the minute I thought about re-adding him he was gone. Now I caught myself waiting for Troy Murphy to deliver a 15ppg, 2 treys/10 boards season finale and somehow stop believing it will happen...

We've all done dumb stuff...but Motown is the one that keeps reaping benefits from the dumb stuff we did!!

Dropping long term injured guys is in no way dumb or silly in my eyes. If I had have held onto Noah and Roy this whole time I doubt I would be in playoff contention. 8 missed games per week every week is just too much of a disadvantage - especially if you are battling in mid-pack.

Unfortunately for the rest of us, the teams at the top can afford more luxuries and hold injured guys longer than we can. That's just the way it is.

The only suggestion I would put forward is for an IR spot. 3 bench spots is not much. Yahoo got rid of the IR a few years ago but I believe they brought it back? Correct me if I'm wrong Mo.

I thought since there wasn't an I.R. in the real NBA there also was not one in fantasy basketball?

Thanks bro. You are the most consistent fantasy player in PF.com history. Nuff said.

Seriously, there is not one single team in the playoffs that I look at and think "I sure hope I meet them in the playoffs".

As the favorite, the pressure is on Motown. It comes with first place.:winner_first_h4h: Especially when you win the regular season by a large margin. But I think he will find some very tough battles along the way.
